Re: [Police] Favorite Sting Drummers
by Jeremy . 24 Nov '01

Hello Mate, As a drummer myself, who grew up inspired by Stewarts drumming, I would say that for originality, I would choose Stu First. 1) Stewart Copeland - originality wins him first place 2) Abe Laborial Jnr - Most of you will not have seen him play with Sting yet, but the man is amazing to listen too. He seems to have the chops for all styles, and seems to have a much stronger grasp on the BND material than Manu has after a whole tour. 3) Vinne - I personally love Vinnie's playing, much for the same reasons as Abe's. I think most players would struggle to pick Vinnie or Abe out of a recording that they didnt know who was playing. I would not say that either of them have a distinctive sound, just very solid players. 4. Omar - The man clearly has a talent, and probably has more raw talent than most players on this list, but he didnt feel that connected tothe music as the others did. 5. On the NLTS tour, both Jean Pual Ciccarelli and JT Lewis were both pretty decent, but nothing amazing. 5.1. I dont have Manu on the list, but the only reason that I dont is that I found his playing with Sting to be very plain, restrained and he struggles to play certain styles. I am not sure the reason for this, because if you listen to Peter Gabriels Secret World Live Concert, I though his playing was for the most part wonderful, both Solsbury Hill and Across the River were standout for me. Someone earlir commented on Manu always using the click track, this isnt his fault, this is just so that he can stay aligned with the constant use of sequencers on the bnd tour, he can hardly be faulted for this.

DTS question
by BBredice＠aol.com 24 Nov '01

24 Nov '01

I know you need a special receiver with 5.1 and the extra speakers and all that to truly experience the DTS version of the Every Breath You Take cd, but do you need a special cd player, or will any one on the market, or my 10 year old one for that matter do just fine?

DVD & A & E broad cast
by Ross Viner 23 Nov '01

23 Nov '01

Does anybody know of the A & E broadcast is just going to be the DVD, or is there anything special about it? The A & E broadcast seems to be three hours (with commercials). I wonder if I'm wasting my time recording it if the DVD will be identical. picked up my copy this morning of ATT. I have to confess I'm annoyed with the fact that we miss out on tracks for being in North American. Oh well. Pisses me off. Please note, effective immediately, please change my e-mail address from "rossviner(a)home.com" to "rossviner(a)shaw.ca" Thanks.

Re-run of Conan w/ Oysterhead
by Soapbox In The Foothills 23 Nov '01

23 Nov '01

WOW!! I was just killing time before I got ready for work - checking email, having that first cup of coffee, and the Conan re-run comes on (3:30 - 4:30am PST) which features Oysterhead. Conan was gushin: "It's *amazing* to meet you." I was amazed too; Stewart looked *awesome*!!!! Conan had the three of them on the couch at the end of the show, but likely due to time constraints, any sort of conversations were edited out.
